10 Reasons To Stay In Christchurch

The Pres have made a great video interviewing real people from our Communities and asking them why they will be staying in Christchurch. If your feeling a bit low I encourage you to view this video and make sure you read the 10 that we have below here and then view the video on the stuff.co.nz site.

Also if you have more suggestions, post them up down below. We would love to hear what you have to say:

1. You're never caught short in Christchurch

Once, finding a toilet in a public place could be a tough task. But in Christchurch, there's now a portaloo on nearly every corner. And, as landscaper Lou Ander told us, it's making it very easy for workmen.

"We never have to order in the toilets on a job site any more," Ander said.

2. There's always a job to be done

Bored? No chance of that. With the constant bubbling of liquefaction, everyone has a job to do. Dayna Maxted, 11, said she's having the time of her life.

"I love cleaning. Seriously. And now I get to clean up all the time," Maxted said.

3. Your 4WD can finally be put to good use

Since the quake, there's a lot more obstacles to be found on Christchurch roads, and some can prove a real challenge. "I like it because it gives my four-wheel-drive a good work out," said Jenni Sands.
